Su Xiaoxiao still had a calm expression as snow, and said word by word: "I'll say it one last time, let Leng Kui come over."
Leng Kui finally came.
It’s not that he was afraid of Su Xiaoxiao, he came to see what these so-called rebels were all about.
When he climbed up the city wall and saw his men nailed to the wall, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He turned around and looked at the dark mass of 10,000 soldiers on the open ground. This group of soldiers was holding the flag of the Great Zhou, and was led by a little girl in armor.
Su Xiaoxiao was not wearing a helmet, revealing her original appearance.
However, Leng Kui had never seen Su Xiaoxiao, so he naturally didn't recognize her. He had seen Jing Yi, but he had never returned to the capital since the battle of Shattered North Pass five years ago.
Jing Yi had grown from a child into a murderous teenager. The change was so great that he couldn't recognize him at first.
Leng Kui's cold eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face: "Are you the girl who pretended to be Qin Canglan's granddaughter at the border and recruited soldiers everywhere?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly: "I am Qin Canglan's granddaughter."
Leng Kui said coldly: "You are talking nonsense! How could Qin Canglan's granddaughter come to the border and bring a group of men to rebel?"
Su Xiaoxiao said sarcastically: "What a rebellion! I don't know if you know how to lead troops in battle, but I have to admit that you are no match for me in throwing dirty water on others."
The deputy general at the side shouted: "Don't insult our general!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly: "If you say one more word, you will be the next one to be nailed to the wall!"
The deputy general's scalp felt numb.
Leng Kui narrowed his eyes dangerously: "With only 10,000 troops, you dare to come to Wengcheng to cause trouble? With a powerful enemy at hand, this general does not want to waste his troops on a bunch of vagrants like you. If you know what's best for you, leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him arrogantly: "The last person who said that is dead. Yes, I mean Dou Xiao."
Leng Kui was shocked and angry: "It turned out that you killed Dou Xiao!"
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Open the city gate!"
Leng Kui raised his hand: "Archers, get ready!"
"Leng Kui, that's enough!"
Suddenly, an angry and hoarse voice came from the rear of the army, followed by a violent cough.
Leng Kui frowned.
The next second, the army dispersed to both sides and automatically made way for them.
Only then did Leng Kui discover that there was an inconspicuous carriage behind the army.
His intuition told him that the person in the carriage was not a simple person.
The carriage stopped beside Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao did not dismount, but sat on the horse and said helplessly: "Your Highness, you have also seen that Leng Kui refused to open the city gate."
Your Highness?
Leng Kui was shocked.
The coachman opened the curtain for Xiao Duye, who covered his mouth with a handkerchief and walked out coughing.
He had caught a cold and had been in a daze for several days. He only felt better this morning. What if he got another cold and his condition got worse? Damn Leng Kui! He glared at Leng Kui fiercely: "Leng Kui! Open the city gate for me!"
Leng Kui never expected to see the eldest prince here, no, now it is the Prince of Liang.
He was stunned: "Your Highness - how could you -"
Xiao Duye said impatiently: "What kind of meeting is this? Hurry up and open the city gate! Do you want to freeze me to death?"
Leng Kui was so bold as to not dare to refuse to open the city gate for King Liang. He went down from the city wall himself and ordered the guards to turn the capstan to open the tightly closed city gate.
He walked out quickly, knelt on one knee in front of the carriage and saluted: "Old minister, I greet His Royal Highness Prince Liang!"
The Five Tigers flew to Jia County to deliver a message to Fusu, asking him to send someone to bring King Liang over.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to seize Leng Kui's troops for her own use. From the beginning, she had no intention of fighting against Leng Kui's 50,000 troops. At this time, Xiao Duye, the tool man, came in handy.
Leng Kui said to Xiao Duye, "Your Highness, you can enter the city, but please forgive me for being blunt. This traitor killed my border generals, snatched away border soldiers, and formed his own rebel army. He has ulterior motives and must be guarded against!"
Su Xiaoxiao said righteously: "Leng Kui, who was it that did nothing and let the Northern Yan people break through the Suibei Pass? Jia County was captured by the Northern Yan army, but you ignored it and let the people of Jia County fend for themselves. I finally subdued a righteous army, but was severely obstructed by your men. If I don't kill them, how can I rush to Jia County to rescue His Royal Highness Prince Liang!"
Leng Kui's expression changed: "Your Highness is in Jia County?"
After polishing the situation, County Magistrate Yuan told Xiao Duye about being besieged by the Northern Yan army, including asking him to stay in the cellar, which he also explained was the safest place.
Several of Xiao Duye's guards had been killed by the Northern Yan people long ago. Only the chief attendant and the coachman were still alive. They had also been staying in the cellar. They had no idea what was happening outside, as they could only listen to what County Magistrate Yuan had made up.
But Su Xiaoxiao did not lie about the trajectory of his battles. He did come from Yaocheng, all the way to Jiaxian, and fought a fierce battle with the Northern Yan army.
Even Leng Kui couldn't distort this fact.
"So she is really... Qin Canglan's granddaughter?" Leng Kui already had the answer in his mind. No wonder so many soldiers joined her.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I didn't know you were in Jia County. If I knew, I would definitely lead the troops to rescue you!"
Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "General, what you said means that your Highness's life is life, but the lives of the people in Jia County are not life? Your Highness loves the people like his own children. If you think that this kind of excuse can deceive your Highness, then you underestimate your Highness!"
Xiao Duye had no choice but to wear this high hat.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Alright, they are all soldiers who fought for me and risked their lives. Come with me into the city!"
Leng Kui frowned, he really didn't want to let this group of people in, he always felt that no good would come of them. However, he was in the wrong in the Jia County incident, and King Liang's attitude was so firm, he had no choice but to let the Chiying Army pass.
The Red Shadow Army successfully entered the city wall without losing a single soldier.
Xiao Duye no longer dared to live in the government office. He wanted to live in the military camp, even though the conditions were a little difficult.
Leng Kui gave up his tent.
Su Xiaoxiao also entered the tent and said to Leng Kui who was following Xiao Duye, "Ah, please trouble General Leng to open the South Gate. My grandfather and my eldest cousin are chasing the fleeing Northern Yan army outside the South Gate. They should be almost done. It's so late now. We can't let them brave the wind and snow to rush back to Zibo Town overnight. Can they stay in the Wengcheng for a while?"
I’m afraid that some people will not leave after living here for a while... Leng Kui looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply, and reluctantly asked someone to open the South City Gate.
We are young and we need both fighting power and strategy.
